Piers

My goal was to walk all the (50?) piers around manhattan - the ones on Hudsonriver as well as on Eastriver-which is not a river but ocean

beginning with the most famous
One-at the Batteriepark-Downtown Manhattan

this is on Eastriver

some piers are just rotten woods

some playgrounds
basketball,soccer and even golf

some well made

some abondend

some in use as piers should be
including ferry to New Jersey or Brooklyn
at 5 pm long rows of wallstreetpeople

this is the one with best view on my favourite bridge
many piers are used as parkinglots

I could go on and but I am afraid it would be boring...
I like most the ones on Hudson -wider views-a real river-in general westside of New York pleases me more-East side for me is a bit boring-inspite East village is said to be a good place but I found not so many interesting places there-at least up to now-some time is left to discover more....
